We publish this inofficial translation of a call of the Solidarity Committee for Indigenous Peoples (Comitê de solidariedade aos Povos Indígenas - CSPI) on recent attempt to evict natives and peasants from land they retook themselves:

Kaiowá and Guarani Natives, along with residents of the Bororo village, blocked the access road to Itaporã on a part of the Dourados road with barricades on November 24th. The protest repudiated the new eviction order sentenced by the Federal Justice to be fulfilled in 20 days. The retaken land has already completed 8 years of existence.

In the end of last month students, teachers and activists in some of Brazil's university cities took to the streets denouncing the continuous cutbacks in public education. Instead of properly funding education and providing the affordable accommodation, food or materials required, the Brazilian government, in an attempt to offload the effects of the crisis onto the teachers and students, tries to cut corners at every opportunity possible.

In November 8 the tekoha Guapoy of the Guarani Kaiowá people, in South Mato Grosso state, central region of Brazil, were notified of a repossession suit, which will be enforced with the participation of the National Force police. They are being threatened by the landlord’s paramilitary forces, strongly armed moving around the area in motorcycles. The area was retaken after the big attack made by the landlords in June 2016, which resulted in the murder of the young leader Clodiodi Aquileu and wounded many indigenous people.

In the course of a protest action a 21 years old Mapuche activist was murdered by special forces of the reactionary state of Argentina, two more were wounded by the use of firearms. Previously the Mapuche occupied a piece of land near to the lake Mascardi in the province Rio Negro and demanded for negotiations on refunding the land back to the Mapuche.

The Mapuche are resisting against their displacement, oppression and exploitation since the spanish colonisation of Latin America. They are struggling a heroic fight against the semi-feudal and semi-colonial states of Argentina and Chile and their imperialist masters, to get back their land. The State National Park Administration of Argentina claims to own the occupied land were these incidents took place. Therefore the reactionary state dispatched the two paramilitary units “Albatros "and" GEOP " on the 23th of November. Albatros Albatros is a unit of the prefectura, a state-paramilitary police, which is actually responsible for coastal and water protection. The Grupo Especial de Operaciones Federales (GEOP) is a special unit of the Federal Police for countering Terrorism.
